280127 - Address bar dropdown menu does not update by last site visited

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(Firefox :: Address Bar, defect)

Description

[csafruik]

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0
Build Identifier: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

The address bar records the last 20 or so sites visited, but does not actually
update by the last one visited when you use mouse click navigation in the
address bar dropdown menu.

For example, if you go to foo.com every day, but occasionally visit new sites,
eventually foo.com gets pushed off the bottom and you have to reenter the entire
address periodically.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Go to a website by entering the address in the address bar.
2. Enter a couple other addresses in the address bar. Visit the first one by
clicking the name. 
3. View the dropdown menu of the address bar and observe the location of the
first address listed. It is on the bottom, rather than the top.

Actual Results:  
Actual results are what engendered the "Steps to Reproduce" report.

Expected Results:  
The software should move the most recent site visited to the top of the drop
down menu. This is primarily a convenience factor; it is much easier to find the
dozen or so zites the user visits daily, rather than hunt through the menu and
eventually have to retype the address.

This is an automated message, with ID "auto-resolve01".

This bug has had no comments for a long time. Statistically, we have found that
bug reports that have not been confirmed by a second user after three months are
highly unlikely to be the source of a fix to the code.

While your input is very important to us, our resources are limited and so we
are asking for your help in focussing our efforts. If you can still reproduce
this problem in the latest version of the product (see below for how to obtain a
copy) or, for feature requests, if it's not present in the latest version and
you still believe we should implement it, please visit the URL of this bug
(given at the top of this mail) and add a comment to that effect, giving more
reproduction information if you have it.

If it is not a problem any longer, you need take no action. If this bug is not
changed in any way in the next two weeks, it will be automatically resolved.
Thank you for your help in this matter.

Actually, it's not the last 20 sites. It tries to guess which url you would most
likely visit next, and present those at the top.

As noted in comment 3, this is how it's supposed to work, so the bug is invalid.
